Elastin: How it is, how it works and how to increase its levels

Posted on by Rachel Kaur · Article ID: 853

elastinElastin is a protein in the body that gives skin and other connective tissues the ability to stretch and return to their original shape. It works by allowing tissues to stretch and recoil repeatedly without tearing or breaking.

Elastin production can be naturally increased by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including:

  • Eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals
  • Getting regular exercise
  • Limiting sun exposure and wearing sunblock
  • Not smoking
  • Staying hydrated

There is currently no scientific evidence to support the use of any specific foods or supplements to increase elastin production in the body. Consulting with a healthcare professional is recommended for personalized advice.
